The next installment of the Ground Control Submission Grappling Tournament will take place on Sunday April 26th at Sugden Sports Centre in Manchester city centre. There will be a beginners division (12 months and under grappling training) and an advanced division (over 12 months) for all weight categories. Any previous winners of the beginners divisions must compete in the advanced divisions and as always all competitors are guaranteed at least 2 bouts!!!

This event MUST be the premiere nogi tournament in the country now that Gracie Invitational has been delayed at least a year? Huge turnout, properly reffed by experienced guys to a sensible rule set, decent venue, regular and frequent events... prizes even.

Hopefully some of the magazines and/or news-sites will cover it, and even more gyms will have representation at this next one.
